In 1998 Godspeed Ministries, a tax-exempt, non-profit organization was formed to be the catalyst of provision for Larry and Linda Smiley, Chaplains for Racers For Christ. The Smiley’s foundational verse for ministering to the racing community is:

II Corinthians 5:18-19Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19. Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ…

Godspeed Ministries continues to function in this capacity as well as funding a growing Car Care Ministry serving the Oklahoma City area.
